Okay, dream set lineup..


1. Army
2. One Angry Dwarf - played extremely fast
3. Bitches Aint crap(cover)
4. You Don't Know Me
5. Song for the Dumped
6. Brick
7. Tiny Dancer(cover)
8. All You Can Eat

from there...whatever

Played Zac and Sara, Annie Waits, Rockin' the Suburbs, Landed, Gone, Not The Same, Philosophy, Battle of Who Could Care Less, Jesusland, Hiroshima

...and other stuff that I don't remember. Was a good show. Fairly large crowd. The opening band didn't suck as bad as most opening bands so that was a nice surprise. Definitely was worth the price of admission.

Don't forget the fly song (original in manhattan) and also fastest ever one angry dwarf and 200 solemn faces, he said we were a good crowd of course he might say that everywhere amazing show and he didn't even play luckiest or brick ha ha

[SkinnyBenny]

I was glad he played Gone.  Solid jam, Shabamboo.

What connections do I need to get that you have to get front row seats? You weren't lucky enough to meet him, were you?

really liked annie waits for some reason. good show. having it at the bram didn't suck as much as i thought it would. still wish it woulda been somewhere else but there were a lot of people there so prob a good call or whatever.

What connections do I need to get that you have to get front row seats?
Just how I roll, d00d.  Actually not.  Go to K-State and work for UPC for a couple of years.  Graduate and keep those friends.  Be a smooth talker.

And yes, met him after the show (fourth time, though, so no biggie).  Throughout the year my students have been listening to his songs and when they had some free time recently I had them draw artistic representations of his songs that they've heard*.  As in, drawings of Fred Jones leaving his job sad, Zac and Sara in a guitar store, etc.  Most of them are drawn by sixth graders and are hilariously bad.  So I gave those to him after the show.  He was into them.



*--Except for Diante P., who drastically misunderstood the assignment and drew a guy leaning on a filing cabinet for "Lean On Me."

I somehow was in the front row too but just out of dumb luck.  Hope you weren't with the annoying girl next to me that sang along to everyone of the acapella groups songs.  Not cool girl, when its an acapella group, you're not just singing along, you're participating.  Not fracking cool.

Why do you guys like Ben Folds?

[ew2x4]

I have farts that are more entertaining than Ben Folds.

[Bookcat]

Ben Folds is an acquired taste.  I get that.

As a muscian, songwriter, and lyricist(sp?) he is pretty franking talented.


Makes the Jonas Brothers crowd look like absolute turds. But then again who doesn't.


Jukebox the Ghost> Jonas Bros. (very ku mass street pop)

that's worth alot. You are dodging a bullet my friend. When I see their stuff, anywhere...I want to puke. These guys have no creative identity. I'm pretty sure if their label told them to start eating a bowl of their own crap for breakfast they'd ask "with our without milk".

Can you really blame them though?  They're 15 year old millionaires.
